Honestly, as far as the ensemble movies go, I personally think Marvel peaked with the first Avengers movie...

Hard agree. The others just don't give any characters enough to time to do anything other than show, do a bit of fan service, and fuck off again. Endgame is a complete clusterfuck.

The only things that have been anywhere near that good since are the Spiderman (maybe not the middle one) and Guardians of the Galaxy (James Gunn is just at home doing this stuff) movies.

I wanted the Taika Waititi and Sam Raimi films to be a lot better than they were, and they just feel too constrained by the House of Mouse for the kind of directors they are.

Winter Soldier is the peak for me, with Civil War just barely below it.
